Can you please detail the best solution for me adding shortcode to a sidebar widget for the home page? You can see I have tried using text and other widgets, which did not work. My purpose is to include a custom widget interactive map in one of these areas. Thanks!
That doesn't seem to be strictly theme related as the native WP text widget won't output shortcodes even with the default Twenty-xx themes as far as I remember
There are plugins for this purpose, although I think adding this line anywhere in your functions.php should make the text widget output shortcodes:

Hi there!
thank your purchase.

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');Hope that helps
